I know I asked this before, but are the Pacers really going into the season with Jeff Foster, Troy Murphy, Roy Hibbert, Rasho and McRoberts as their big men?

My guess is that their done moving things around. And, I'll bet that they wait until close to the deadline to see how the roster shakes out before they consider any more moves. They did a lot in a very short amount of time.

I'm sure they'll look to add someone, maybe a Carl Landry type. There's not a real PF in that whole bunch, people think Murphy is but he's more or less just a really tall 3.

Either way, Indy really only plays one big at a time, at least on the blocks. It's more of 4 out offense than anything, at least it was last season. I expect Shawne Williams to see plenty of time at the 4 spot.

I have concern about Bayless's attitude. You hear about the Blazers players all having great attitudes and high character, very likable guys. The first thing I noticed about Bayless is that he might be kind of a tough guy type player. The local media is even saying he is kind of cold and I don't know what to make of it.

I would rather have players like Roy. The kind that will just let the other team talk and only say, "Yeah you guys are real good, uh huh", letting the other team feel superior and safe. That is until the 4th quarter when Roy puts his foot down on their throats.

Bayless seems like the guy that will give the other team motivation by pissing off the other teams players rather than intimidating them. I wish he would get some humility because you can't come into the NBA thinking your going to own everyone.

I could be wrong. It's been suggested that he's still bitter about being traded around and slipping to 11 on draft night. He could also be just getting use to the city and the people before he let's his guard down. I hope the other guys tell him to mellow out a little.

I think we need some sort of an edge, but definitely not too much. From what I read, Bayless has an attitude similar to Jarrett Jack's. He's the type of guy that will challenge guys, on the court and in the weight room. Like Jarrett though, he doesn't take sh*t from people. Jack and Przybilla were the only 2 guys on our team that had somewhat of an edge to them and would stand up to guys on other teams. We need that. I've read that KG was intimidating to several of the players and Przybilla was the only guy that got in his face. I think its important to have those types of guys. As long as our team isn't completely made up of those types of guys, it creates a good balance. We got a couple of guys that will stand up for the team, but then the rest of the team that will pull them back at the right time to keep everything in check.
